I just realized that I might have misunderstood your question.
You were asking about the rivnuts to fit the side panels through the ally floor. Sorry

Yes, I drilled out the ally floor and used countersunk rivnuts, so they are flush with the floor. Rivnuts have to cope with 5mm thickness (2mm tube + 3mm floor). Mine were OK for that, I tried on a scrap tube and 3mm ally piece.
The link to my blog about that is:

(I moved the "Translate" button on top of the side bar so it is easier to find.)
There are 4 rivnuts fitted through the floor (+ 3 directly on the tube, at the front of the chassis)
Also, these countersunk rivnuts I used to fit my side panels are M6 (9mm hole) and not M5 (7mm hole) as I said yesterday.
I hope I have now answered your question
